The Thoughts and Times of Scott A. Vancil

I wake and can't find Loki for a long time, but then he comes out from wherever he was hiding. We play for awhile. I was really freaked out, because he wasn't anywhere in his hiding spots. I have no idea where he was.

I brew myself a Bones Coffee Co. Mustachio in my Powell's Bookstore Mug.

I eat oatmeal with protein powder, cinnamon, agave, blueberries, and peanut butter.

I shower with Bourbon, 2-n-1, Head and Shoulders, Shampoo/Conditioner. Then I lather myself with Duke Cannon Buffalo Trace Bourbon Soap and rinse. I then smother myself with body wash: Duke Canon THICK Bourbon Bodywash. After rinsing I rinse my hair. Then I use my Duke Cannon Buffalo Trace Bourbon Plant-Based Beard Wash. I rinse. I dry and comb my red beard with its elegant white streaks.

I put on Axe Apollo Fresh Stick, because they were out of Phoenix.

I put in Big Bourbon Beard Balm and put on Bourbon Cologne Balm.

We go shopping at Ralph's. Finally. We haven't had much to eat in awhile. Just a lot of oatmeal.

We return home.

I heat filtered, water to 185 Degrees Fahrenheit in my black, Fellow EKG Gooseneck Kettle and steep two teaspoons of Royal Phoenix Oolong Tea for eight minutes in my Mike Wazowski mug. I purchased the tea at The Tao of Tea in the Chinese Gardens in Portland, Oregon. I highly recommend them.

I sip and listen to Angel Olsen's, 'A Whole New Mess.'

I steep more tea for twenty minutes this time.

I FaceTime my parents and say goodbye, because they're going on a big trip.

After, we go to Mission Wine & Spirits and I get an Ardbeg 5 Wee Beastie Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

We return home, and Shelby makes spaghetti.

We watch Deep Impact on HBO Max. I absolutely love this film. One of my favorites. This is the first film I saw more than once at the theatre. I saw it once with my Grammie and once with a friend. Way better than Armageddon. Feels more classy and like an adults movie as funny as it sounds. Just a bit more serious and scientific. Feels like it could actually happen versus the embelishment that is the Michael Bay film. Don't get me wrong, I think Armageddon is fun, but Deep Impact is a much more moving human journey. I'm showing Shelby the movie for the first time.

I pour a whisky, and we finish the movie. Shelby seems to like it more than she liked Armageddon. She wasn't quite into that one.

I pour another whisky, and we go outside to smoke a little pot. I've been having just a tiny bit lately. I usually have really bad reactions to pot, but now if I take a little I don't freak out. But it has been making me depressed.

We come back in and watch a couple of episodes of Sex Education.

I make a sandwich: toasted English Muffins; lathered veganaise; peppered baby spinach; plopped, juicy tomato slice; plooped oven-roasted Ham Tofurkey slices; smacked Vegan Follow-Your-Heart Gouda Cheese; and blasted hot sauce- a fuckton.

I feast.

Delicious.

We watch more Sex Education. Shelby and I shower together. I shower with Bourbon, 2-n-1, Head and Shoulders, Shampoo/Conditioner. Then I lather myself with Duke Cannon Buffalo Trace Bourbon Soap and rinse. I then smother myself with body wash: Duke Canon THICK Bourbon Bodywash. After rinsing I rinse my hair. Then I use my Duke Cannon Buffalo Trace Bourbon Plant-Based Beard Wash. I rinse. I dry and comb my red beard with its elegant white streaks.

We watch Letterkenny, and I finish my whisky.

We go to bed.

And that's it.

That's my day.

That's Friday, June 3rd 2022
